girls nite

ME and some friends from highschool got together last night and went to dinner at Stevo's in Burley. It was so fun! Whitney is getting married so we talked about wedding plans and reminisced. It's so crazy to see how many different directions everyones lives are going right now! I'm a mom, Whit is getting married, Trish has been married for 2 years, Jayme is a teacher, and Ash is still with the same guy for 4 years now! WOO HOO! Good luck with all the wedding plans Whit!

Then we went to Trish's moms and had cookies and talked about old memories. It was a great night!

Just an Update

There are a few new things going on here that i though I'd blog about since my husband is on grave shift, Carter is in bed, and I am bored! Here's whats new with the Hymas':

Carter is 6 months old!! He weighs 18 lbs 5 oz. and 27 in. long. I swear each day he is heavier and heavier! He is so much fun to have! He has started trilling his tongue non stop (its his new noise!).
I got a job at Once Upon A Child here in Twin Falls. It is a new store opening April 1st that buys and sells childrens clothing and accessories. I am SO excited. I will just work 2 days a week when Chad is home so that we dont have to worry about day care or babysitters. We have so many things planned this summer all ready (yard saling, camping, new home maybe!) that the extra money will be much welcomed! Mostly, I am just excited about a discout on the already DISCOUNTED items!! I start somwhere around April 10th.

We have seriously been looking at buying or building a house again. We met with some builders the other day and decided that we were NOT going to build anymore. There are so many deals on the market right now and for $/sq. feet we could get a bigger home if we went a little older. This is a house we are really looking at. It is a fixer upper home, but with our $8000 tax credit we will get for buying a house this year and maybe selling our boat we will be able to make it into a great home! It is a 5 bed 3 bathroom house on a .29 lot that is pretty good sized with a almost finished basement. Right now it is kinda ugly, but after a paint job and carpet and eventually new cupboards it has the potential of being a great home! I've been really torn between going with an older home or buying new, but this one is such a good buy right now in a great neighborhood i dont know if we can pass it up! It's still up in the air right now, but we have been really excited about it!

And i wish i had some pictures of this but a few nights ago, Chad kicked me and Carter out of the house for an ALL GUYS March Madness party. we ordered 4 pizzas and about 9 guys showed up. It was so cute how excited they all were to get together to watch the game. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. I hear there are already big plans for the final four!

I can't decide.....

2nd Anniversary

Grandma Reed reading to Carter
Applebees
Heading out on a date
Dinner at home - we almost lost our whole dinner because Carter got a hold of the table cloth and we were barely able to catch everything. That boy grabs anything within his reach!


I can't beilieve 2 years has come and gone. Next thing we know 40 years will have passed. They have definantly been the best 2 years of my life. We have grown through trials and the tough times were made sweet. I love you very much Chad man. You mean the world to me. I look forward to falling in love with you even more every day. You truly do complete me! Love ya much.

We were able to sneak away to Applebees and eat dinner while my family came to watch Carter. We also went down to Shoshone Falls for a while and just have a relaxing evening. On Sunday, which was our actual anniversary, I made a yummy monterey chicken dinner and we just hung out. So we got to celebrate it twice!!
